  • Mathias Rüegg (* 8. Dezember 1952 in Zürich) ist ein Schweizer Jazzmusiker (Pianist, Komponist, Arrangeur und Bandleader). Dem Autor und Kritiker Robert Fischer zufolge ist er „ein Grenzgänger“, der „beide Sprachen beherrscht, die klassische wie die des Jazz“; ein „Jongleur der Musikgeschichte“, der es geschafft hat, „die Genialität der frühen Jahre zu überleben und dabei eine Meisterschaft zu entwickeln, die ihresgleichen sucht.“ (de)
